Values & Culture
Our culture thrives on what we call LIFE values – Leadership, Integrity, Flexibility and Efficiency. These four core values guide us in our daily work and mindful interactions with colleagues, stakeholders, and customers. LIFE describes a holistic mindset that helps us foster a culture emphasizing caring, collaboration, and mutual trust in a learning organization. Processes and tools for people management build on LIFE to bring our values – yes, yes, we’re going there – to life.
- Leadership: People in leadership roles at Bayer put their team first. They communicate shared visions and set milestones that inspire and energize. Taking on people responsibility means nurturing talent, understanding feedback as a source of growth, and to keep on learning every day.
- Integrity: Our people match words and actions. We act sustainably, balancing business growth with environmental and social responsibility. Our teams integrate diverse perspectives and ideas and tap talent, know-how, and skills across functions and divisions.
- Flexibility: We value flexibility in every corner of our working culture. Our teams make customer goals their own and collaborate to create value. They are safe spaces that encourage ideas, experiments, innovation, and curiosity. Our people try new tools and technologies and drive our digital transformation.
- Efficiency: We encourage people to take on responsibility, take swift and pragmatic action, explore more effective approaches, and empower people around them. We break down complexity to communicate with clarity and support each other when the going gets tough to reach milestones as a team.
At Bayer, we encourage an environment where everyone feels safe to open-up, give and receive authentic feedback. While validating feedback raises self-confidence, self-awareness, and enthusiasm for learning, giving – and accepting – critical feedback is a skill that requires constructive intent, a supportive environment, and a mindset that recognizes it as a learning opportunity. As a learning organization, we rely on open feedback to help us boost enthusiasm and identify things that might be slowing us down.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Our DE&I aspiration is to live a culture where everyone is valued and enabled to be the best version of themselves – For Better.
At Bayer, we are continuously in pursuit of better: better outcomes for patients, better sustainable practices for farmers, and better products for consumers. To be successful, we must live a culture that isn’t just accepting of all its people, but intentionally embraces and celebrates the diverse and unique experiences, backgrounds, perspectives, and knowledge of our team to create impact in the communities we serve and the world.
We have established clear global commitments for gender balance throughout the Bayer Group. We want to demonstrate year-over-year progress towards increasing the number of women at all levels of management globally to 50% by 2030.
We have also defined additional commitments to further diversity at Bayer for 2025 and 2030, covering age structure, nationality, career experience, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities, among others. Further aspects such as ethnic background and race are integrated into our commitments for our regional organizations.
Sustainability
Contributing to sustainable development is a core element of Bayer’s corporate strategy and of our core values. Guided by our mission “Health for all, Hunger for none”, we promote inclusive growth and a responsible use of resources to help people and planet thrive.
